Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Friedrich Nietzsche made the kick off which started today's match. Franz Kafka's late challenge caught a Tomb Raider FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Franz Kafka helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Real Marabino getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Franz Kafka hit a great ball. Real Marabino's Orlanda Aguiriano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Váldson Palmeira in the 11th minute of play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Pedro Luiz Cordeiro in the 12th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Orlanda Aguiriano prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 13th minute Tomb Raider FC were awarded a corner. Jerônimo Salles went to the cornerflag to take it. If Friedrich Nietzsche had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 26th minute, Constantijn Schoovaerts left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.
